Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for reducing the latency in a transceiver. A transceiver includes a high latency communication channel and a low latency communication channel that is configured to be a bypass channel for the high latency communication channel. The low latency communication channel may be utilized when implementing the transceiver is used in low latency applications. By bypassing the high latency communication channel, the high latency that is introduced therein (due to the many stages of de-serialization used to reduce the data rate for digital processing) can be avoided. An increase in data rate is realized when the low latency communication channel is used to pass data. A delay-locked loop (DLL) may be used to phase align the transmitter clock of the transceiver with the receiver clock of the transceiver to compensate for a limited tolerance of phase offset between these clocks.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to communication systems, and in particular, to reducing latency in transceivers.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]Communication systems for transmitting data may operate according to a number of standards and implementations. Such communication systems may include one or more communication channels for transmitting and receiving data. Some of such communication channels may include a transceiver that receives serial data, converts the serial data to parallel data, digitally processes the parallel data, serializes the processed data, and transmits the serialized data. Such a transceiver may be referred to as a SERDES (serializer / deserializer) transceiver. SERDES transceivers may be used in a wide range of communication systems and devices, such as mobile devices, desktop computers and servers, computer networks, and telecommunication networks.[0005]A SERDES transceiver may be capable of handling very high data rates. F...
